Aberama Gold (G)
[V]
Not the force of old (won the 2023 Stewards' Cup) but resumed winning ways in 5-runner handicap at Catterick (6f) in April. Wasn't seen to best effect having raced away from the main group at Hamilton last time and not dismissed.

Maris Angel (M)
In tremendous form at Wolverhampton last year, winning 5 handicaps from September to December and a good third when last seen on Boxing Day. Well drawn on return but might need it.

The Good Biscuit (G)
Won twice here last season and had been in good form until a below-par effort in a fairly valuable handicap at Hamilton a fortnight ago. Can bounce back.

Emperor Caradoc (G)
[P]
Proved better than ever when winning 9-runner handicap at Thirsk (6f) a month ago with Rock Opera third, but not so good off this mark when just third of 5 at Leicester the following week, failing to keep straight under pressure doing him …

Bravo Zulu (G)
[B]
Won 4 times at around 1m in 2025 but having been given a chance by the handicapper, ran well having a first try sprinting at Redcar (6f) last week, hitting a flat spot over 2f out but keeping on. This stiffer test will suit and good chance…

Irish Nectar (G)
[B]
Signed off for Kevin Ryan with a close second to a useful rival over C&D in October and bounced back to form returned to all-weather when finishing fourth at Kempton 13 days ago. Would be of firm interest if rain comes.

Dashing Dick (G)

Dug deep to end a long losing run in 6f Newmarket handicap in November. Well held both starts this year but did win on his third start back in 2024 and likewise went close last year. Not dismissed.

Alpha Capture (G)
FAV
Has made a solid start for new yard, travelling as well as any when third over 1m here last month before looking unsuited by drop back to 7f at Thirsk. Plenty of hard-luck stories on his record but was a classy sprinter in his youth.

Rock Opera (G)
Losing streak now closing in on 2 years but again didn't get the rub of the green at Hamilton last time, finishing with running left. Needs things to drop right but lurks on a very dangerous mark if putting it all together.
